[teampractices] Interesting post by lead of Twitter's Eng Effectiveness group

[Mukunda Modell]

Thank's for sharing, Grace!  It's a good article and very thought provoking.

Ever since I started as a Release Engineer, more than a year ago, I have
been very frustrated by similar issues to those highlighted in this
article. The WMF really could benefit a lot from better developer tooling
and better repository organization.  The situation would be a lot better if
there was a team with the authority to make decisions and the resources to
see them through to completion. Unfortunately, developer tooling is
especially susceptible to bikeshedding and it's incredibly difficult to get
any kind of consensus about big sweeping changes to our status quo.

The Release Engineering team has been trying to take some leadership around
some of these issues, but we are a small team with a lot of
responsibilities so we can only make very slow progress. I'd love to hear
thoughts from others, if anyone else has read the article (
